Y'all were talkymeat today.

I started to do a meara, but it was too much. So I shall sum up...y'all are the good kind of crazy while everyone else is just plain craxy. Oh, and Steph's asshats need a clue by four.

Another thrilling night in Boise. Wheeeeeeeeee. K-Bug's high school team won their first game (pre-season). She played all game in right and had some great catches. It was cool hearing her so excited, I'm trying not to kick myself for missing it.

The very next year In-Sink-Erators will be plastered with warning labels saying: "FOR FOOD DISPOSAL ONLY: DO NOT USE TO GRIND UP HUSBAND, NO MATTER HOW BIG AN ASS-HAT HE IS"

I half expect a real warning to appear after the story about the lawsuit following the Heroes premiere.

Maybe MM's warning could be made to steer the insanely stupid to the cops...

"Warning: This device is not certified for disposal of human remains. Please consult your local authorities for guidance. In-Sink-erator cannot be responsible for mis-use of this product."

I'm always amazed how much bureaucracy voluntary groups saddle themselves with--boards, committees, reports, etc. I know that coordinating a bunch of people to a common end does take some level of bureaucracy, but it always seems to get so complicated it becomes work, which one should get paid for, instead of fun.

links?

This guy should be the next editor. It can become a humor publication!

I'm with amych. This guy is not only verbally abusive - he abuses verbs.

Cash! Let me validate you.

When Emmett broke his nose we got in the paramedic truck and they asked me which hospital I wanted to go to. I said, "Which is closest?"

Paramedic said, "Well...[Bigass Hospital] is closest, but..."

Me: "What?"

Paramedic: "Oakland Children's is only ten minutes further."

Me: "So you'd go to Oakland Children's?"

Paramedic (obviously well versed in not-getting-sued scenarios by whatever insurance the city has): "Well, they handle nothing but children's cases, so they're better with dosages and treatment, and its usually faster through the ER with them."

Me: "Oakland Children's!"

So, trained medical professionals think that Children's Hospitals are best for kids unless there's a huge difference in time to get there.

I hate these assholes. I super-hate them because being in this group has been such a huge positive in your life, you volunteered because of what it's given you, and now they're shitting all over it and you. Hate.

I knew JZ had written this before I scrolled back up to see the name because, as usual, she said **exactly** what I was thinking and yet was not articulate enough to actually say. I'm boggled by the asshattery. I'm so sorry, Teppy. But, on the other hand, I am very happy to hear about how well things are going with The Boy. YAY The Boy! (Also? Totally want to see Vortex kick those fuckers in the face.)

I am giving them the new england stare and blink of utter disbelief and contempt. - you all know the look. It is the one where mom gives you that one more chance to say " i really didn't mean to say that" When she know perfectly well that you did say it and there are consequences.

Cash, SO CUTE!!! Also, I totally think you (and Hec and others above) are in the right. Children's hospitals are bestest for children.

Children's hospitals are bestest for children.

The logic is pretty straightforward. If you have heart problems and can go to a General Practitioner or a Cardiologist, you'd go to the Cardiologist even if it was 15 minutes further down the road. Excepting maybe right in the middle of a heart attack when any old fire station would suffice.

Oakland Childrens as been wonderful with both my kids - they have each had to go through some pretty major medical stuff and everyone was so fantastic. When we had to go to UCSF Med Center for some treatment for K-Bug, while they were aso very good, it was different. They did not seem as attuned to working with kids, it was like fitting a kid into an adult set-up while all of Childrens is scaled to the kids.

Bitches? We're going to need a new title soon. I mentioned in B'crxy, but no one bit.

Okay. Here's what the random generator gave me...

Spike: We got a history, him and me.
Fred: What?
Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole--
Fred: My God you're so full of crap.
Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Spike's Bitches 35: So Full of Crap

Spike's Bitches 35: Yeah. Okay.
